Among the petitions submitted to the South Dakota Secretary of State’s Office this week is one that would change the state constitution to establish non-partisan elections.
Backers of the amendment delivered over thirty nine thousand signatures.
Rick Knobe of Sioux Falls, Chair of the coalition backing the amendment says those numbers are a strong statement…………

Knobe says they believe the change would allow more people to be actively involved in the political process…………

Knobe says they know how difficult it is to convince voters to change the constitution…………

Nebraska has a non-partisan, Unicameral legislature, where Senators are not officially listed by party.
